Somalian Muslims killed 6 Christian Kenyans
Al-Shabab Islamic extremists are suspects in the killing of six Christian men in Somalia on Good Friday, March 29, reports International Christian Concern.
Originating from Kenya, the six men were selling plastic goods and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with Muslims in the Islamic town of Dhobley.
Please, pray for their families as they mourn the loss today.
According to the Open Doors World Watch List, Somalia, Africa is the second most dangerous country worldwide in which to be a Christian.
11 Chinese hospitals suspended birthing operations
The South China Morning Post reports that 11 major national hospitals have suspended birthing operations since last June — due to China’s ongoing birth dearth. Total number of births across the country dropped to 9 million last year — get this — down from 18 million in 2016!
That’s the lowest birth rate since accurate records were made available in the 1940s. China suffered a population loss of a half million people last year. At this rate, demographers estimate China will lose about 700,000,000 people or half their population over the next 80 years.
Military buildup in Japan, China, and India
Eastern nations are building up their respective military complexes.
Japan’s defense budget is expanding — a 16.5% budget increase over the last year. Japan is inching towards a 2% GDP military expenditure, up from 0.9% in the 1990s and early 2000s.
China has also announced a 7.2% increase on its military expenditures for 2024. That’s an officially released number of $236 billion — about double what it was in 2013. Even more significant, India’s military spending has increased from $14 billion to $77 billion since 2000.
Meantime, U.S. military spending has dropped from 7% of the GDP to about 3.5% of the Gross Domestic Product since 1980.
28-year-old depressed Dutch woman getting euthanized
The Free Press reports on a 28-year-old Dutch woman who is “tired of living” and “depressed,” and will be euthanized by doctor’s assistance.
Zoraya ter Beek says she is “a little afraid of dying, because it’s the ultimate unknown. We don’t really know what’s next—or is there nothing? That’s the scary part.”
Tragically, 138 Dutch people were killed or “euthanized” by a doctor who were committed on psychiatric grounds in the Netherlands last year, reports Dutch News. Disturbingly, 5.4% of Dutch deaths are doctor-assisted suicides.
Trump on abortion: Leave it to the states
Donald Trump, the leading Republican candidate for the U.S. presidency, announced Monday that he would rather leave abortion legislation up to the states, instead of seeking a federal law protecting the lives of the unborn.
Trump announced his position on Truth Social.
Listen.
TRUMP: “Many people have asked me what my position is on abortion and abortion rights, especially since I was proudly the person responsible for the ending of something that all legal scholars -- both sides -- wanted and, in fact, demanded be ended: Roe v. Wade. They wanted it ended.
“It must be remembered that the Democrats are the radical ones on this position because they support abortion up to and even beyond the ninth month. The concept of having an abortion in the later months and even execution after birth, and that's exactly what it is. The baby is born, the baby is executed after birth is unacceptable.
“My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it, from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation, or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land, in this case, the law of the state.”
Trump also emphasized his allowance for killing the child in the cases of rape and incest. He places the priority on “the salvation of the nation” and winning elections, in his words “
